Rental Cars at or near LAX Airport: An estimated 40 rental car agencies operate at LAX Airport with off-Airport vehicle rental sites; many of them provide phone links inside the Lower/Arrival Level area of the passenger terminals to request a shuttle pick up to the rental car sites. Those which are permitted to make pick-ups/drop-offs directly from the terminals via courtesy shuttles are: Advantage, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Fox/Payless, National and Thrifty. Their shuttle pickup area is designated under the purple sign 'Rental Car Shuttles' on the Lower/Arrival level islands outside baggage claim. If you choose one of the other rental car agencies, contact your choice directly by using the Ground Transportation Telephone Boards in the baggage claim areas of each terminal to arrange for pick-up. You can use the free LAX Shuttle Bus, located on the Arrivals level island under the 'LAX Shuttle' sign, to Lot C to reach the Off-Airport Rental Car Terminal and to meet your chosen rental car courtesy shuttle.
